The ADDRESS of the CORPORATION of the
City of RICHMOND, Virginia,
To GEORGE WASHINGTON, Eft. PRESIDENT of the UNITED
STATES.
SIR,
IF in you the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonality ofßichmond
beheld only the chief Magistrate of the United States of Ame
rica, they would indeed feel all that refpefl which is due to the
ruler of a free people ; but when they contemplate those virtues
which have excited the universal approbation of your own coun
try, and the admiration of all mankind, they cannot approach
you without emotions of veneration too big lor utterance too
pleafmg to be foppreffed.
If the voice of the people be the trumpet of the Almighty, the
univeifality of that gratitude which pervades every bosom in Ame
rica, will ever remain an inconteftible proof of the plaudit of
Heaven on the fortitude and wisdom which secured to our com
mon country independence and empire, and which now leads her
to wealth and glory.
We well know that to a mind like yours, fraught with bene
volence and affe&ion for all mankind, the gratitude and love of
the nation which you have saved mull be the best and moll pleas
ing reward ; yet we are aware that to such a mind nothing could
be more painful than that servility which would convert the sen
timent of love into the language of adulation ; we shun therefore
the expreflion ef the one, leoft we ftiould incur the imputation of
the other ; and while we beg leave to congratulate you on the
astonishing success which has heretofore attended all your endea
vors for promoting the public welfare, we look forward with
confidence and joy to the continuance of that administration,
which, through the hlefling of the Supreme Being, hath been al
ready productive of so much general happiness to the American
empire ; and we implore that Being, propitiously to smile on all
your future designs, to guard and protest you in your intended
tour, to grant you every earthly good, and that, when his provi
dence fliall fee fit to summon you hence, you may be wafted to
the regions of eternal happiness, lamented by men and welcomed
by angels.
The PRESIDENT'S Reply to the above.

THE very distinguished manner in which you are pleased to

amply and moll agreeably rewarded in contemplating the happi
ness, and receiving the approbation of my fellow citizens, whofc
freedom and felicity are fixed I trull for ever on an undecaying
bafisef wisdom and virtue.
Among the bleflings which a gracious providence may be
pleased to bellow on the people of America, I shall behold with
peculiar pleasure, the prosperity of your city, and the individual
happiness of its inhabitants,

To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

We have the fulleft confidence in Divine Benevolence, that the

LIVERPOOL, March 3.
JOHN WESLEY.
On Tuesday evening died, of a gradual de
cay, the Rev. John Welley, in the 88th year of
his age.
This extraordinary man was born in the year
1703, at Epworth, a village in Lincolnlhire, of
■which place his father, Samuel Wefley, was
Redtor.
At a proper age, John was sent to Chrifi: Church
College, Oxford. About 1725 he was eledted
Fellow ©f Lincoln College. In 1729, he joined
a society of fellow students in private devotion,
and from this his spiritual career may be dated.
In 1735, he embarked for Georgia, in order to
convert the Indians, but returned to England in
1737, where Mr. Whitfield had commenced the
■work of reformation. In 1738 he visited Count
ZinzendorfF, at Hernhuth in Germany, the chief
of the Moravians. We find him in England a
gajn in the following year, and on April 2, he
preached his firft field sermon at Bristol, from
which time his disciples have continued to en
creafe. He remained the reft of his days in this
kingdom, travelling through every part of it,
and eftablifhiug congregations in England Scot
land, and Ireland.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
In 17jo he married a Lady, who died in 1781 —
by her he has 110 children
Mr. Wefley's income was prodigious, not less
than io,cool. a year; but oot of that he appro
priated no more to his own use than was fuffici
ent to supply the necefl'aries of life. The money
went to build chapels, and pay his preachers
throughout the kingdom.
